Shoulder Pain Physical Therapy in Emerson, New Jersey

What most people call the shoulder is actually a few joints that connect to tendons and muscles to allow a wide range of motion in the arm - from scratching the back to throwing the perfect height. Most shoulder pains that we see in Emerson Physical Therapy and Rehab Center are caused by bad posture, lack of proper function, and poor stability of the shoulder girdle and the surrounding muscles and ligaments.

The most complicated joint is the shoulder joint in the body. The range of motion in the arm makes it susceptible to many undesirable injuries - and therefore, due to the instability of the shoulder, we see many patients with these problems. The blade is vulnerable to a lot of injuries due to instability, which is directly correlated with the fact that the arm is not involved in closed kinetic chains and functions.

The most common source of shoulder pain; it is the dislocation of the arm/stresses. At Emerson Physical Therapy & Rehab Center, we offer non-surgical options to treat shoulder pain. You will receive an individual treatment plan that will restore you to the level of activity and lifestyle you are used to without having to deal with your arm. We will show you how to become free from pain, correct the cause, and eliminate symptoms.

Emerson PT provides a very specific, individualized, and comprehensive approach that determines the exact cause of pain and treats it.
